Anise Cutout Cookies

2 cups shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons aniseed
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar until fluffy; add eggs and aniseed.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Add apple
juice and mix well. On a floured surface, knead until well blended, about 4-5
minutes. Roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness; cut into 2-in. shapes. Place on greased
baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 12-16 minutes or until lightly browned.
Combine sugar and cinnamon; roll cookies in the mixture while still warm. Cool on
wire racks.

Yield: about 5 dozen.
